What would you do?

If I'm understanding you correctly, you're not talking about re-pleating per se, just re-pressing the pleats. Correct?

I guess the answer really depends on whether it bothers you. It apparently does, so go for it. I've done it on a box-pleated kilt too, and it's really not that big of a deal. A box-pleated kilt is probably the easiest to re-press.

Tobus, brilliant! yours is one of the opinions that I hold in esteem.

Yes, you are correct. I mean re-pressing.

I'm not sure if it bother's me. When the kilt is worn and drapes below the fell, it actually looks (IMHO) as nice as the morning it arrived from Mr. Newsome.
It's when I remove the kilt and tri-fold it to air-out or hang-to-store that I notice the "imperfections". However, I've read before (specifically CDNSushi) talk about the natural character of a kilt over time. The pleats themselves, as all of M.A.C. Newsome's kilts, are stitched virtually perfectly.

This is why I'm looking to find out what another more experienced wearer, such as yourself, would do. Would this bother you? If no, personally, I would respond to that.
